I finally got to experience the amazing Grinchmas at Universal Studios Hollywood! The Grinch is one of my favorite holiday movies and I'm not sure why it took me so long to finally meet him!
We were running late and got to Universal Studios about an hour after the original plan (oops) BUT the Grinch himself was actually outside the park gates walking around the red carpet when we got there and it really made my whole day! His make-up, voice, even his teeth were SO well done! Being late was a blessing in disguise haha!
Grinchmas is included with your park admission and runs through most of December (click here for full schedule). It's full of treats, shows and special meet n' greets that include Max the dog! (Who was clearly over his shift).
Whoville is located in the center area of Universal Studios. There was so much Christmas packed into this space and it did not disappoint! The details they put into all the Whoville decorations were phenomenal. They hit every tiny detail from the movie!
The Who tree stood tall in back, where they did mini shows all day long. At night they do the "lighting of tree". It's a mini show of the Grinch actually stealing Christmas and after, it snows!
The meet n' greets they had were so much fun as well! The Grinch and Max had set areas right next to each other, and all the other Who's were walking around! The Mayor and Cindy Lou Who were my favorite. Different, random Who's wander around all day though so definitely drop in throughout the day!
They had a lot of interactive things like the Whoville Post Office where you can write a postcard to the Grinch for him to do three good things. When you're done, take it to the counter, get it stamped and then send it off
There were props from the movie and fun photo ops too! And the treats were adorable and very festive...they even had Who Hash! The merch they sold was from both the old classic Grinch cartoon and the New Grinch movie that came out this year. Most merch can be found throughout the park and in City Walk
I highly recommend Grinchmas if you're a big fan of the movies. I will definitely be doing this every year! They brought the movie to life and it all seemed so real! They made everything so easy to get to and be a part of. The only thing we didn't do was actually meet The Grinch at his post because his line was the longest. But I do think it would have been worth it, his interactions are just amazing.
